Rashid Buttar's Dirty Laundry
After reading Kevin Leitch's exposé of the many frauds of Rashid Buttar, I was inspired to create this tribute to one of America's most versatile con artists.
Based on "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley:
He makes his living off quackery and abuse
There's always something--something he can use
People are easy to confuse
They love Buttar's dirty laundry
Well, he coulda had real certifications, but fake ones fit the bill
They just have to look good, they don't have to be real
He's always got a cure-all pill
And lots of dirty laundry
Quackin' when he's up
Quackin' when he's down
Quackin' when he's up
Quackin' when he's down
Quackin' when he's up
Quackin' when he's down
Quackin' when he's up
Quackin' all around
Says he's an expert in food science, and autism besides
He can sell you cures for cancer with a gleam in his eye
It's interesting his cancer patients still die
That's Buttar's dirty laundry
Using IV-EDTA
Is the kid dead yet?
You know, the nurses in his office got a running bet
No decency and no regret
Just heaps of dirty laundry
We all need to find out what's going on
We all need to know just how far it's gone
We're not going to leave Buttar alone
Let's hang out his dirty laundry
Quackin' when he's up
Quackin' when he's down
Quackin' when he's up
Quackin' when he's down
Quackin' when he's up
Quackin' when he's down
Quackin' till they're stiff
Quackin' all around
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
He's got his dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
He loves to cut your bank balance down to size
He loves his dirty laundry
He can do conspiracy theory
He can dance and sing
When it's said and done, he hasn't shown you a thing
We all know that crap is king
With Buttar's dirty laundry

I recently met the wife and had no idea who she was. Her friend gloated about her and told me her husband cures autism. Skeptical, I googled him and found all these nasty sites on him. My poor friend is blind!

Quackwatch discusses chelation therapy "board certification."
Quackwatch has posted a report about the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicologists (ABCMT). Originally called the American Board of Chelation Therapy, it is part of chelation therapists' effort to make themselves look more legitimate. ABCMT's current online membership directory lists 76 "diplomates" and 39 "diplomate candidates."
However, it is not recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, which sets the certification standards for in the United States. [Barrett S. Be wary of "board certification" in clinical metal toxicology. Quackwatch, Feb 13, 2009] http://www.quackwatch.org/04ConsumerEducation/Nonrecorg/abcmt/overview.html
Most "clinical metal toxicologists" claim that "heavy metal toxicity"
is an underlying cause of heart disease, autism, and many other diseases, including cancer. Their favorite test for diagnosing this alleged toxicity is a "provoked" urine test for which urine is collected after a chelating agent is administered. Chelation and other methods are then used to "detoxify" the body, which proponents say will enable it to heal whatever disease they claim to treat.
Provoked testing is a fraud [Baratz RS. Dubious mercury testing.

and chelation therapy has no rational use against the diseases that "clinical metal toxicologists" claim to treat. [Green S. Chelation
therapy: Unproven claims and unsound theories. Quackwatch, July 24, 2007] http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/chelation.html
ABCMT's chairman, Rashid A. Buttar, D.O. is facing charges of financially exploiting patients brought by the North Carolina Board of Medicine. During a hearing held last year, Buttar indicated that nearly all of his patients are diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity and receive chelation therapy. Five of ABCMTs' other 12 officers, directors, and advisers have had legal and/or regulatory trouble in the past.
